The web industry is a fast-paced environment. We need to stay vigilant and keep an eye on upcoming technology. The patterns in this book are the basics that will help you understand how more complex patterns work. We cannot be sure what web design will look like in the future but, by understanding media queries and how to build your own patterns today, you can be better prepared for tomorrow.
In this chapter, we have gone over how to pick a pattern, how to combine patterns, and how to discover patterns rising in popularity. It is not enough to learn a few responsive patterns and reuse just those for every project. Hopefully, now you are equipped to start combining and discovering your own. You can even use your RPL such as a sandbox and test new patterns and combinations. In the final chapter of this book, we will discuss the benefits of adding a pattern library to a project and putting the finishing touches on our own.
